Spring Break Getaway
We came up to the Twin Cities for our high schoolers spring break and to spend our college students birthday. He attends U of Minn. We did an Escape Game, visited Minnesota Zoo, saw St Paul Cathedral and Wabasha Street Caves. The house was in a great central location. There was plenty is space. Really like the Lake Harriet area vibe. House was super clean and plenty of extras.

Great house with room to spread out
This house was a fantastic find. We had figured it would be more space than our family of four would need, but as it turned out we loved having the space to spread out so comfortably, with lots of cozy nooks. The house was immaculate, well furnished with modern decor, and well equipped with everything we needed. And the location can’t be beat, walkable to fantastic shops and restaurants, parks and of course the lake. Highly recommend.

Very Nice Property
Very nice property - clean, well equipped and in very nice neighborhood. Ben, the host, was very responsive during our stay to a couple of questions. The property is on a relatively busy street and is on a flight path for MSP. While sitting on the front porch was noisy, the inside of the house was relatively quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at the property again.

Cozy home
Host was easy to get ahold of whenever we needed to. House was very cozy and had everything we needed. Did an excellent job with cleaning up the snow before we got there. Even surprised us with a bottle of wine. We will definitely stay here again when we come back.

Such a charming place!
I absolutely love this property! It has so much character and charm. Ben is super responsive -- I think he responded in a minute after I hit 'send.' The house is a couple blocks from Lake Harriet and all kinds of dining -- definitely try Rosalia, I may still be recovering from their drinks! The master bedroom has a King bed - there are two full tv rooms. And there's a shower here that is HGTV-worthy, and something I want in my home! My only regret: That my trip was so short. Definitely coming back!

Host profile image
Ben is a consultant who loves to travel, explore cities, eat new foods. He is super excited to share his home with traveling guests in Minneapolis!

Why they chose this property

Linden Hills is a stunning neighborhood with a rec center and park two blocks north of the house. Lake Harriet is three blocks east. During the summer, you’ll often see live music, movies in the park, or special events at the Bandshell Park. And there are numerous eateries, coffee shops, ice cream parlor, and brewery all within 3-4 blocks.
Half-way around Lake Harriet you will discover the rose garden, a Japanese themed garden, and bird sanctuary.
We are 10-12 minutes to downtown. And about the same to the Mall of America.
1/2 mile south is Antique Row, where you can sift and sort to find the perfect keepsake to take home!
